organize confusion wake up give it up to
0:02
organize confusion I played that song
0:04
for a Reason Tracy Z
0:07
open your eyes is the name of that song
0:11
she's trying to recall what year that
0:13
song came out Tracy G and you understand
0:15
why I played it it was in the early
0:17
trivia champ I believe in you yes
0:21
from the first organized Confusion album
0:25
um early 90s
0:27
92-93. somebody with Google handy help
0:29
them out and at this time I was working
0:32
on 106 KMEL radio and our objective at
0:34
that time with the world famous wake up
0:36
show was to wake people up that's why we
0:38
called it the wake up show
0:40
it was deeper it's Deeper Than Rap it
0:43
wasn't because it was late
0:46
it wasn't because it was just the
0:48
morning no it was an Awakening happening
0:50
my belief in um as this culture started
0:54
to expand was it was one of the things
0:56
that was supposed to be utilized for us
0:57
upliftment and empowerment and a lot of
1:00
us who came from our community found
1:01
that through uh worship and praise right
1:05
and so when these guys made this song
1:08
Back Then and it wasn't popular
1:11
but it was impactful it was powerful I
1:15
knew then that there was a space for a
1:17
Christian where we would redeem
1:18
Christian rap you know but it's all
1:20
reality rap to me it's what you do every
1:23
single day so
1:25
um rather if Christian rap or not if the
1:27
message reaches you whether you're a
1:29
Christian or not that song is doing its
1:31
purpose right and so here what we do on
1:35

1:45
through it during the covet folks are

1:53
not here to just be famous and
1:55

2:56

2:58
rap world but on the show I have Christ
3:01
revolution music radio show on holy
3:03
culture radio okay what time you gotta
3:06
tell them what time 12 p.m Eastern
3:08
Standard Time on Sundays yeah and I'm DJ
3:10
wato uh I come on Monday through Friday
3:12
from six to eight in the evening and we
3:15
do a top 10 countdown 10 hottest joints
3:17
out right now then I hop in the mix at
3:19
seven o'clock it's International top 10
3:22
longest running countdown in Christian
3:24
hip-hop really
3:53
um
3:56
all right enough because I've heard some
3:59
of the DJs you've had up here so I'm not
4:00
I'm not pressed
4:05
DJs
4:09
did you hear what LL said to him you see
4:13
BB DJ under LL Cool J no what do you
4:15
saying I saw the freestyle after after
4:18
he got through freestyle and he said man
4:20
great beat
4:21
you picked the right track that's the
4:24
art that's the art though wait oh you
4:26
know about that that's all right that's
4:27
all right not everybody gonna pick the
4:28
right track that's all right because
4:30
it's different for each artist
4:31
absolutely so here's the thing is you
4:34
know when people think about Christian
4:35
rap they they put it in a silo like it's
4:38
not a part of hip-hop culture right
4:41
um and we've seen plenty of you know
4:43
biblical stories where folks who are
4:45
coming with the truth always uh
4:47
experience the most resistance right and
4:50
how is that does that apply to your
4:52
story trying to just get the message out
4:54
trying to get Christian rap to the
4:56
Forefront absolutely I think so I think
4:58
to your point of putting it in the Box I
4:59
mean people can easily do that but if
5:01
you think about hip-hop and the origins
5:03
and all those different sub Jammers
5:05
whether it was the Islamic piece whether
5:06
it was Pro Power piece whether it was
5:09
just storytelling man hip-hop is the
5:11
verse and wide and Christian hip-hop is
5:14
a big part of that the the Genesis of it
5:16
goes back as far as hip-hop overall
5:18
we've got some folks in this genre
5:20
who've been doing it for a long time
5:20
like cool like like like Mike peace like
5:23
Stephen Wiley like preaches in Disguise
5:26
like gospel gangsters and we've got
5:27
Generations soldiers for Christ soldiers
5:30
for Christ thank you soup the chemist
5:32
um and so you've had the first
5:33
generation and the second generation
5:34
include cats like the cross movement
5:36
yeah and so on and so forth and now
5:38
you're seeing I believe that third and
5:39
fourth wave and so it's diverse and I
5:42
think the content is the verse not just
5:44
how many times you can repeat the name
5:46
Jesus in a song but everything from what
5:48
I would call almost translating biblical
5:51
studies all the way through man just
5:53
talking about life and how it's applying
5:54
you know how they applying the
5:55
principles to their life I love this
5:57
right yeah okay go ahead you want to add
6:00
on no he's really hitting it on the head
6:02
because the bottom line is we all
6:04
experience life and sometimes Christian
6:06
MCS can really just say this is what
6:08
I've been going through this is my
6:10
struggle I'm just like everyone else in
6:12
the room but God has helped me in this
6:15
area and I'ma write about it and I'm
6:16
gonna spit it in such a way that is
6:18
creative on a nice catchy beat but at
6:20
the same time it's going to minister to
6:22
you because I want to lift you up in the
6:24
end I want you to be like enthusiastic
6:27
about attacking the next day I don't
6:29
want you to depress I don't want you
6:31
upset I don't even want to get you angry
6:32
I want to put you in the place that
6:34
maybe you will ask God to help you with
6:37
your life there you go and I think some
6:39
of this too sway is like I mean you you
6:41
told the story with you and T-Bone a lot
6:44
of us started off in the culture before
6:46
we were saved right okay so like I I
6:49
went to Howard University undergrad you
6:52
know and um I started DJing there right
6:55
you still had a set trip right there
6:57
yeah
7:03
you know that's that's what we do though
7:05
right and so uh
7:07
I started off DJing in clubs and all
7:10
that stuff like I mean this is crazy
7:12
that we're actually on this station
7:14
because Slim Shady LP I did the release
7:17
party at Howard University
7:26
I mean but I mean I was 99. yeah yeah
7:31
yeah in the punch out yeah and punch out
7:33
yeah bro yeah it was it was amazing he
7:35
was a 2000 yeah okay yeah yeah I
7:39
graduated no two yeah okay so all right
7:42
um yeah I did stuff with DMX and and
7:45
then the Lord grabbed a hold of my heart
7:46
and so I was like
7:48
I actually stopped doing music because I
7:50
didn't know Christian rap existed I just
7:52
was like okay I can't continue doing
7:54
what I was doing and glorify God with it
7:57
and then I started finding out about
7:58
cross movement I started finding out
8:00
about people like Paradox I met Trigg
8:02
and um you know long story short I
8:05
realized I could use my gifts and
8:06
talents in a whole other different way
8:08
and so I started a podcast and you know
8:11
um guys to start taking it places there
8:13
it is and look at you now man this is
8:15
great man um so let's talk about it man
8:18
because that was an interesting
8:21
back and forth going on with the artist
8:23
D1 salute to D1 um and the artist Lecrae
8:27
sure you know who's a friend of this
8:30
show both of them both these are
8:31
brothers so I didn't want to get
8:32
involved right so you know but D1 was
8:35
like you can't be righteous and Ratchet
8:38
and you know uh Lecrae has that thing we
8:41
said I could be righteous and Ratchet I
8:43
think his intent is to use the
8:45
righteousness to bring people into the
8:46
righteousness yeah the balance right
8:48
that's right it is what what are your
8:50
thoughts on that like what are your
8:52
thoughts on secular music and Christian
8:54
rap and what are the do's and don'ts um
8:57
well I'm gonna start with waito yeah
8:59
yeah I think you I think first and
9:01
foremost you have to what are your
9:03
personal convictions right so there was
9:06
a time period where I didn't listen to
9:08
any secular music right and that was a
9:11
personal conviction at the time now I
9:13
was very young in my faith when I was
9:14
doing that and so I think unfortunately
9:17
I tried to force my opinions my own
9:19
personal convictions on other people and
9:21
I don't always think that's wise okay so
9:23
I I think it's this is what I would ask
9:26
people is what you're trying to do
9:28
glorifying the Lord and if it is then
9:32
I think you do it
9:34
um I think as far as that personal
9:37
conversation
9:38
I think D1 I had a lot of conversation
9:40
with him about it I think what he was
9:42
really trying to do was call people into
9:43
what is called Holiness which is God's
9:45
standard and I think to your point what
9:47
Lecrae is trying to do is just like hey
9:49
by any means necessary I want to get
9:51
this message out to people and so I
9:54
think sometimes you're coming at it from
9:55
two different angles yeah you got the
9:57
same goal yeah and the same goal is you
9:59
ultimately want to uplift people and so
10:01
you know however you get there that's
10:03
how you get there man it's your journey
10:04
I also think on the do's and don'ts man
10:06
things happen in Seasons
10:08
you go through life at different points
10:10
where you hear things differently I
10:12
think all of us remember those times man
10:13
like I got a son that's older and I
10:16
remember you know my daughter's 25. okay
10:18
okay my son's 31. but okay College I
10:21
remember you were right
10:24
so but I remember pre-college the advice
10:27
I imparted and then you say the same
10:28
thing years later and they're ready to
10:30
hear it yeah right right and so I
10:32
remember when I was still producing
10:33
secular music a cat came into my studio
10:35
and as he was leaving he said man you do
10:38
some dope tracks it's ashamed enough for
10:39
the Lord and then he walks out
10:42
he said what bro what'd you say he said
10:44
you do some dope stuff it's just a shame
10:45
it's not for the Lord and walks out this
10:47
brother ends up being one of the members
10:49
of the Cross movement right but he he
10:52
left enough to convict me without
10:54
beating me you dig what I'm saying and I
10:56
think that's what happens sometimes in
10:57
these public conversations is that we're
10:59
too quick to go to the left or the right
11:01
versus trying to understand what people
11:02
are at that time yeah well sad man uh
11:05
but here's the thing you think about
11:07
what you guys do and how y'all uplift
11:09
the community yeah you're not on a
11:10
Christian station right right right on
11:13
purpose and and here's the thing there's
11:16
nothing wrong with that yeah absolutely
11:17
at all there's nothing wrong with that
11:20
yeah and more than it being nothing
11:22
wrong with that there's something right
11:23
with that right that's right right
11:24
because there's many different positions
11:27
to play absolutely when you're in
11:28
service of God
11:30
um which makes me think you had
11:32
mentioned how for the mission is to
11:36
uplift people right which then means
11:39
that some music Mission subconsciously
11:41
May maybe unintentionally or in
11:43
intentionally is to do the opposite do
11:47
you three believe that the same way that
11:49
God can give us gifts that we do in
11:52
service to glorify the Lord that
11:56
Darkness can also give gifts where
11:59
people create music with a demonic
12:02
mission
12:03
I think about you know with
12:06
um Lucifer who is said to have been the
12:09
greatest musician in heaven and how he
12:13
loves the entertainment industry because
12:15
he's able to find a lot of soldiers to
12:18
carry out his task yeah how do you guys
12:20
see that yeah I'll give you perspective
12:22
as kind of the CEO perspective but I
12:24
definitely want these guys to weigh in I
12:26
think about the soundtrack of the
12:27
channel and what we're trying to do yeah
12:29
and the three things I always talk about
12:31
is healing hope and how to's and are we
12:34
are we bringing things through that are
12:36
going to leverage and work into those
12:38
streams right when I think about talents
12:40
and gifts I see all these different MCS
12:43
producers and whatnot flowing with that
12:45
right to your point I do believe that
12:47
Satan is the prince of the air right and
12:49
that certainly can influence those
12:51
talents and gifts to be used in the
12:53
opposite direction of what we're trying
12:54
to achieve yeah yeah right oh man we got
12:57
these guys here
12:59
the channel is called holy culture radio
13:03
Channel 154. Mike you want to jump in
13:07
here that's Mike news right there
13:11
what's good
13:14
no way I'm loving this conversation
13:19
um they were all having it so good to
13:20
see you later congrats to your brother
13:22
we all know each other yeah yeah oh very
13:24
very
13:25
we did we walked out I got the one he
13:28
came in yeah real subtle right funny
13:30
dudes right here
13:32
no no no no no way change I'm just
13:34
curious I do have a couple questions
13:36
I've been kind of very fascinated by the
13:40
genre of Christian rap and I'm really
13:41
glad to see the genre expand and the way
13:43
that it has I think in the beginning I
13:45
didn't enjoy it at all because it was
13:46
just Christian rap over secular beats
13:50
um so I'm glad to see the creativity has
13:51
expanded to original Beats and I think
13:54
it seems more authentic it seems so
13:55
forced in the beginning
13:57
um in the origins of Christian rap and
13:58
so it was really good to see expanding
14:00
to like original Beats but I have a
14:01
couple questions but first I'll just
14:03
start out with saying like you know
14:05
the framing of like secular versus
14:08
Christian I think has been so divisive
14:10
and the way that the two cannot coexist
14:15
um I remember I was living I'm
14:17
originally from Lansing Michigan I was
14:18
living in Detroit Michigan at the time I
14:20
graduated college and I was going to uh
14:22
Pastor Marvin Winans church perfecting
14:25
and I was very active in the church and
14:28
I remember leaving to move to New York
14:30
City to start my own record label and
14:32
they all shunned me yeah everyone in the
14:34
church was like we can't be happy for
14:36
you you're going to play for the other
14:38
side you wanted to play for the devil
14:40
and you're going to the devil's work I
14:42
remember going
14:43
um sitting with the minister associate
14:45
manager at the time I needed some
14:46
counseling on something
14:48
um and he did a questionnaire what do
14:50
you do what are you up to I told him in
14:51
the music business and he spent so much
14:53
time like berating me being a part of
14:57
this secular world that when it came
14:58
time to talk about what the issue was I
15:01
told him I didn't want to talk with him
15:02
anymore and so I walked out and so I
15:04
still see this Dynamic and conversation
15:07
happening I think Kirk Franklin is
15:08
fighting this a lot when it comes to the
15:10
space and so before I begin so just talk
15:12
to me about the divisiveness between
15:15
secular and Christian music and how that
15:17
plays out for people not even want to be
15:19
a part of the church yeah here's some
15:21
some personal thoughts for me I don't
15:23
even like using those labels because
15:25
it's divisive right if I don't I'm a
15:29
Christian
15:30
um and I'm proud of that but I think
15:33
sometimes when you lead with that and P
15:36
and there's a certain brand associated
15:37
with that people don't want to they
15:40
don't want to engage because of that and
15:42
so
15:43
um I you know I tend to let my my
15:45
actions
15:46
do the talking for me and it's like you
15:49
should you should know what I'm about by
15:51
what I do right and I shouldn't
15:54
necessarily have to say it because
15:56
sometimes if I say it and there's
15:58
already a preconceived notion good or
16:00
bad
16:01
you've already branded me a certain
16:03
thing before we've even had a chance to
16:04
engage in dialogue and interacting so I
16:07
mean even like the first time you met me
16:09
where we at we were at a major Fortune
16:11
500 event yeah I didn't say hey Mike uh
16:15
good to meet you I'm a Christian DJ yeah
16:17
you know what I mean like that came
16:19
later in the conversation but it allowed
16:21
us to build a rapport and so
16:24
um I I think for me I tend to kind of
16:27
lean into that
16:29
um I think
16:31
let me say this man I'm sorry you've had
16:33
some of the experiences that you have
16:35
definitely yeah right like like very
16:38
sensitive to that and I I think within
16:40
the Christian faith
16:42
there's a lot of different denominations
16:44
that have different
16:46
values and thoughts and all of that kind
16:48
of stuff and so I won't get into that
16:49
you know what I mean because I may be
16:52
defending somebody that I don't even
16:53
necessarily fully align with everything
16:55
that they believe except for the core
16:57
stuff but I will say
16:59
um I think there's just space for
17:02
people to build relationships there's
17:03
space for people to just kind of allow
17:06
you know their actions and thoughts
17:11
um you know kind of
17:13
build the relationships and just leave
17:15
it there like I think when you start
17:16
getting in the labels and Brands and all
17:18
that kind of stuff like you know like
17:20
for instance like you know if I tell you
17:22
I'm a Christian DJ you automatically
17:23
have a certain thought yeah you know you
17:26
have a certain thought about what I what
17:27
I might play like so if I if I walk into
17:30
an event and I'm actually playing
17:32
music that's not Christian you're like
17:34
wait a minute I thought you were a
17:35
Christian DJ I am
17:37
right but you know so I just think
17:39
there's you know I just think there's
17:41
there's room to just just let you let
17:44
you let you let your actions uplift
17:46
people yeah I like that the
17:48
conversations you need to have so I
17:50
don't like to add one point to that too
17:51
I think I think one of the things we all
17:53
have to remember too is that there are
17:54
people who benefit from and very much
17:57
like to see us polarized and we have
17:59
this eyes wide open to that there are
18:02
folks who want to see us polarized as
18:03
Christians as black folks as the
18:06
underserved and so on and so forth and
18:08
we've got to be eyes wide open and
18:09
intentional about not letting
18:11
polarization happen okay I agree I love
18:14
it man and thank you for sharing that
18:15
Mike I didn't I didn't know that I think
18:18
that happened to you uh we're gonna come
18:19
back we're gonna open the phone lines
18:22
888-742-3345 Sway in the Morning shave
18:25
four or five
18:27
that track was by one of our guests
18:29
today
18:32
[Applause]
18:33
[Music]
18:36
that song man was just like an average
18:39
day waking up
18:40
um even when I shot the little at home
18:42
music video man just really talking
18:44
about how I start my day I need to start
18:46
my day off slow like I've been in the
18:49
rap race in the fast-paced world and
18:51
thank God for the pandemic saying it's
18:54
so crazily but it slowed us down because
18:57
sometimes we wasn't appreciating life we
18:58
was just ripping and running and just
19:00
doing the next thing but then once you
19:03
slow down you're like yo this needs to
19:06
be addressed yo this is not being taken
19:08
care of am I spending time with family
19:10
like that start waking us up to say life
19:13
is too valuable and we just allow it to
19:16
slip through our hands sometimes if we
19:17
just letting the clock spin come on
19:19
Bishop Bishop very docs right here
19:28
so your name is an acronym yeah
19:32
tell us about it Brian educates
19:34
radically informing Disciples of the
19:36
unknown come on man and so most people
19:37
unknown is Christ they don't know about
19:39
Jesus they don't understand some kids
19:41
never been in a church at all in life so
19:45
sometimes we try to take it our job to
19:47
just share the love of God and just
19:50
Express and let them know that Jesus did
19:52
exist and this is how I govern my life
19:55
and this is how I'm strategizing to make
19:57
moves so that was the concept that was
20:00
just the purity of it and the Lord had
20:02
to give me more Rhymes to rap about
20:03
after you give me This Acronym
20:05
yeah yeah and so did you start off
20:08
Christian rap nah so you you was out
20:11

20:14
anybody break laws

20:39
that we are not proud of now that we've
20:41
told our kids about and that we've
20:42
learned from and that we've been

23:48
so and so but I will receive that that's
23:51
cool thank you man I appreciate y'all we
23:53
got James on the line from Cali what's
23:54
up James
23:57
good morning good morning crew man uh
24:00
shout out to everybody I'm a Believer
24:01
and I just want I gotta go but um I just
24:05
wanted to say I love hip-hop and there's
24:07
no other uh culture that could blend as
24:10
well as hip-hop has I got a nice I got a
24:13
nine-year-old son and I'm familiar with
24:15
your channel we listen to Elevation
24:17
Hillsong and um
24:19
but music is reflection itself and
24:22
sometimes you fill in some Kendricks
24:24
sometimes you fill in some Toby
24:25
sometimes you're feeling cold and it's a
24:28
good way right now
24:29
to blend and teach these young kids like
24:32
the reality of the world and God is
24:35
still relevant and I love hip-hop
24:37
awesome thank you so what was your
24:40
question though you had a good question
24:41
ask that real quick
24:43
uh no my my question uh was really just
24:47
like with secular music and like the top
24:49
three still reflecting God like as far
24:51
as helping the weak way and Kendrick and
24:53
J Cole and those people like are you
24:56
guys going to reach out and try to get
24:58
them on Beats and try to get them to
24:59
collab and actually like blend together
25:02
that culture
25:04
let me put the last part over to wado
25:07
because he does one of the most solid
25:09
jobs best jobs to me of blending the
25:12
secular and Christian hip-hop mashups
25:14
brother yeah speak to that a little bit
25:15
later
25:17
yeah so
25:18
um
25:19
I I love all different types of music so
25:22
I don't just listen to like worship
25:24
music or Christian rap music I mean we
25:26
was listening to Lo-Fi on the way over
25:28
here because New York City's traffic is
25:30
crazy I need to calm my nerves right
25:32
um so I you know I think it just depends
25:34
on what is what it's called for I mean
25:36
there's events that I'll DJ I won't play
25:38
all Christian rap music you know what I
25:40
mean I'll I'll might play Toby I might
25:42
play J Cole so
25:43
um I think wherever there is a means of
25:46
collaboration you collab and one of the
25:48
things that I always try to do in my
25:49
mixes is give you pieces of that so even
25:51
when I'm on holy culture man I may
25:54
throwing a Lecrae song and put a J Cole
25:56
beat underneath it right because the
25:58
person tuning in may not be as familiar
26:00
with all of the music that I'm playing
26:01
but they like I know that and that
26:03
sounds dope together and that kind of
26:05
becomes a a touch point for you so
26:08
um I I think for me man it's just all
26:09
about connecting and just you know
26:11
understanding you know the Vibes of
26:13
people man and just trying to give them
26:15
some inspiration in the midst of that
26:16
that's right yeah it's good James thank
26:18
you for your call
26:19
hey thank you guys man it's exciting
26:21
future I'm looking forward to it I'll
26:23
tune into the holy poultry station thank
26:26

financially right but two to have a home
28:13
base man that people can come to within
28:15
Christian hip-hop if you think about
28:16
what we were all a part of earlier MTV
28:18
Raps and a place for the artists To Go
28:20
Tigger in the basement in a place for
28:23
artists to go yeah we don't in my
28:25
opinion have that today in Christian
28:27
hip-hop that's all right and so we want
28:30
to build that kind of place
28:31
yeah we will talk well I was just I
28:34
literally was just asking him about how
28:36
he liked his setup and what we could
28:37
what he would do differently if he was
28:39
redoing it because as we build ours we
28:41
want to make it that kind of creative
28:42
collaboration hangout spot for all the
28:45
artists that come through the east coast
28:46
and maybe make it desirable for them to
28:48
come to the east coast absolutely
